Peasantry in Nepal
92 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Peasantry in Kathmandu Valley and Its Southern Ridges 4.1 Introduction From ancient times, different societies of caste/ethnicity have been adopting various strategies for ac- quiring a better livelihood in Nepal. Agriculture was, and is, the main strategy. The predominant form of agriculture practised throughout the hilly area of the Nepal is crop farming, livestock and forestry at the subsistence level. Kathmandu valley including Lalitpur district is no exception. The making of handicrafts used to be the secondary occupation in the urban areas of the district. People in the montane and the rural part of the district was more dependent upon the forest resources for subsidiary income. Cutting firewood, making khuwa (solidified concentrated milk cream) and selling them in the cities was also a part of the livelihood for the peasants in rural areas. However, since the past few decades peasants/rural households who depended on subsistence farming have faced greater hardships in earning their livelihoods from farming alone due to rapid population growth and degradation of the natural resource base; mainly land and forest. As a result, they have to look for other alternatives to make living. With the development of local markets and road network, people started to give more emphasis to various nonfarm works as their secondary occupation that would not only support farming but also generate subsidiary cash income. Thus, undertaking nonfarm work has become a main strategy for a better livelihood in these regions. With the introduction of dairy farming along with credit and marketing support under the dairy development policy of the government, small scale peasant dairy farming has flourished in these montane regions. -

Wolfe SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ON MAY 5, 2000 IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ENGINEERING IN CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation was to determine and describe the microbial drinking water quality problems in the Kathmandu Valley. Microbial testing for total coliform, E.coli, and H2S producing bacteria was performed in January 2000 on drinking water sources, treatment plants, distribution points, and consumption points. Existing studies of the water quality problems in Kathmandu were also analyzed and comparisons of both data sets characterized seasonal, treatment plant, and city sector variations in the drinking water quality. Results showed that 50% of well sources were microbially contaminated and surface water sources were contaminated in 100% of samples. -

Community Readiness for Self-Managed School
1 COMMUNITY READINESS FOR SELF-MANAGED SCHOOL CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The history of formal school education in Nepal begins with the establishment of Durbar School in 1853, mainly for educating children of ruling elites. Children of general public had no access to this school. In this regard, Ministry of Education [MoE] (2003) stated: “Modern education began in Nepal with the establishment of first school in 1853. However, this school was only for the members of the ruling families and their courtiers. Schooling for the general people began only after 1951 when a popular movement ended an autocratic family regime and initiated a democratic system” (p. 2). Khati (2003) argued that the Rana regime of 104 years were completely against any form of educational development, the opinion behind their motives of suppressing educational development was that the education would awaken the people and in turn weaken their power. For Khati, educations during Rana Regime were only for the chosen few of their own Rana circle and not as a right of everybody as the masses of Nepalese people were kept uneducated and illiterate. In those days, general public were deprived of education and were forced to engage in sustenance agricultural activities. However, aspirations of some people to educate their children were met to some extent by sending their children in ‘Patha sala’, ‘Gumba’ and ‘Bihar’ organized by community as guthi, caste group and religion groups. The 2 education facility that they rendered was poor in quality, and education, therefore, was also inaccessible to many. After the inception of democracy in 1951, it was realised that education system should be enhanced, where community took the first step in organizing the school for their children, which was referred as the community managed school. -

No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education. -
